5 bedroom house

ACCOMMODATION: A recently restored farmhouse offering c.2440 sq. Ft of spacious accommodation, which was fully renovated in 2016, to an exceptional standard, seamlessly blending character features with a high spec contemporary finish. The property is accessed through electric double gates opening to a large driveway providing plenty of off-road parking, even for the largest of families. The formal entrance is found at the front elevation, where the front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and storage cupboard beneath. All of the ground floor accommodation benefits from engineered oak flooring with under floor heating and individual thermostats in each room. Here you will find a spacious office for home working/study, a well-appointed washroom with separate area for coats and shoes, as well as two generous reception rooms: a slightly larger formal sitting room and a cosy yet spacious lounge. Both feature attractive fireplaces with log burning stoves installed. Undoubtedly the heart of the home, the impressive open plan kitchen/diner is sure to impress, enjoying a triple aspect with doors opening to the front, side and rear elevations, including double doors leading to the expansive west facing terrace. Substantial dining furniture can easily be accommodated here to cater for family dinners and entertaining. The kitchen itself comprises a comprehensive range of stylish wall and base units and a large central island with granite work surfaces and tiled splash backs over, under-mounted sink with mixer tap, gas hob with cooker hood over, eye level oven with built-in microwave and integrated dishwasher. The utility room has further matching wall and base units with work surfaces and a drainer sink, as well as access to the hot water cylinder, central heating boiler and cupboard housing the electric fuses.

To the first floor, the large and spacious landing area leads to five excellent size bedrooms, all of which can accommodate double beds of varying sizes, if required. The two largest rooms enjoy access to their own en-suite bath/shower rooms, with the impressive master bedroom also benefiting from a dual aspect taking in far reaching countryside views and featuring a dressing area with built-in wardrobes.  

OUTSIDE: Remotely operated double gates open from the road to the generous parking area which spans the front elevation. The majority of the plot, which totals just under half an acre, then extends from the western (side) elevation of the property. Double doors open out from the kitchen-diner in this direction to the large terrace, which creates a fantastic entertaining space that soaks up any afternoon and evening sunshine. Steps from here continue onto the substantial lawns which also feature a variety of fully stocked flower borders and raised vegetable beds that are sure to keep green fingered buyers occupied. The plot is enclosed by a mixture of fencing and hedgerow. To the rear of the property a further courtyard provides a sheltered yet sunny spot for a morning coffee. Spectacular views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from an elevated corner of the garden, which must be seen in person to be appreciated. 

SERVICES: Mains gas, electric, water and drainage are connected, and Gas Central Heating is installed.
